Uriah Hall is entering the next stage of his combat sports career.

Hall (17-11 in MMA) will fight former NFL star Le’Veon Bell at the Oct. 29 Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva Showtime pay-per-view event in what will be the pro boxing debut for both athletes, according to MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin. The bout will be contested over four rounds at a catchweight of 195 pounds.

The matchup was first reported by ESPN.

Hall announced his retirement from MMA competition this past August following a unanimous decision loss to Andre Muniz. It was the second straight loss for the longtime middleweight contender, who finished his UFC run with a record of 10-9 inside the octagon and notable wins over Silva, Chris Weidman, and Gegard Mousasi.

Bell made a successful amateur boxing debut this past September with a vicious fifth-round knockout of fellow NFL standout Adrian Peterson at Social Gloves 2 in Los Angeles. The three-time Pro Bowl running back played for nine seasons in the NFL, most recently with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021.
